SpectreVision was started in 2010 and is behind movies like Elijah Wood's teachers-vs.-kids zombie movie, Cooties, and Iranian vampire movie, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. While no projects have been announced, SpectreVision's team will be working with Ubisoft's FunHouse Studio in Montreal.

SpectreVision CEO Lisa Whalen announced the partnership today at the Sundance Film Festival.

“We're thrilled to partner with an industry leader like Ubisoft to explore the innovative and burgeoning technology that is virtual reality,” Whalen says. "Together, we can tell an infinite number of unique stories in a bold and original new format.”
